The Cellar - The 'What the fuck!' thread

I never heard that term, of course we always had plenty of firewood, that's what my grandfather and my uncles did all day, cut 'em down, cut 'em up, haul it into the city to sell.

I can see the headline, Massive Pile-up on the Interstate Caused by a Guy Trying to Take a Picture. :smack:

Anyway, Orlando Airport has what is labeled as a bronze sculpture...

I've found certain plastic handles on screwdrivers and chisels had mildewed right next to others that did not.
This Snap-On cast polyurethane dead blow hammer was buried under some other stuff in a damp cellar for a long time.
The surface was covered completely with green/white mildew but what surprised me was the wide cracks in the handle,
The cracks were bright red with no mildew down in the cracks below the outer surface like some science fiction shit.
Then it crumbled when I tried to pick it up, very strange, never seen anything like it.

Is it possible some chemical had spilled? Not sure what can break down polyurethane.

My 120lbs wife was pounding 2 steel pegs in soft grass and the hammer blew apart. ...

Mine did that too, was orange also. It was around 18 years old thou

This style of Snap on was well known for shattering. The newly updated ones (3-4 years ago? Maybe a little longer than that) are supposed to have solved that, but time will tell.

Urethane degrades over time it's simply the nature of the chemistry. This isn't uncommon. It happened when Stanley owned Com-po-cast and it's going to happen to Trusty-Cook's, Snap-On's, Harbor Freight's and anybody else's urethane hammers in due time. The condition this occurs most frequently on is called white death. When the hammer starts to turn white this indicates that the hammer will soon fade.
